Our school friend Marcella runs an amazing blog at fashiondistraction.blogspot.com.
Marcella oozes style, it helps that she's so gorgeous with a rock'n body!
I'm always envious of her photos, having a photographer boyfriend really helps the quality of blog 
post haha. Definitely take the time to check her out x

Spring

Image and video hosting by TinyPic
Yay we have finally been given a sunny day in Auckland, all this rain has been slightly depressing.
I think we can safely say that we are leaving winter now and thank goodness, i'm sick of it being cold!
I had a great night meeting up with my girlfriends for dessert last night,
definitely stop by the Stone-house Mecca in Mission Bay if you are in the area.
Hope you are all having a lovely Monday x

Retail therapy

Karen Walker dress, Country Road boots

I had a crap day yesterday so I did what I do best when I'm sad.. I indulged myself in some retail therapy.
After paying off two large bills and getting two fillings (I hate the dentist with great passion....$450 down the drain!!),
I poped into Karen Walker on Nuffield street and fell in love with this frilly little number...
and then I bought these boots...love, love, love.
I've been eyeing them up at work for a while now.. awesome paneled leather.
What retail therapy have you indulged in lately? hilz x

Celine Rita Summer 10/11

Unfortunately I was unable to attend the Celine Rita Summer 10/11 Lunch Party
tonight at Juice Bar but here is a sneak peak of Celine's new line. 
Hands down, my favourite piece is the organa black, draped shoulder dress... I really want it for Summer! 
The backless singlets are very cute..I really like the multiple stringed black singlet!
Congrats Celine, you must work very hard!
Good luck for Air NZ Fashion Week, I will be frount and centre of the photographer's pit cheering you on.

I really love the blue tones coming through this unique photography...the blossom look stunning don't they!
It makes me want to put on a frilly dress and organize a picnic in the park.

Matt Arbuckle

My good friend Matt Arbuckle is seriously going to be my big claim to fame!
Only just graduating from Unitec last year, with an arts degree in one hand and in the other a 1st runner up of the prestigious Wallace Art Award; this talented up-and-coming young Auckland artist is no doubt one to watch.
He had his first big collaborative show in November last year with another young artist called Tim Webber which was a great success!  Since then he has joined up with Tim, Bobby Hung and Askew in a working studio, their group named Urban Development.  This is so exciting! Artists working together always gives such a buzz of creativity and it seems as though the boys have really enjoyed  it.  They did an amazing huge mural together in Auckland and have big plans for the future.  On the 2nd of September Matt is having his first proper solo show, in preparation towards his travels later this year.  Please go support him and check out his incredible artwork!
New Zealand has such a unique style of street art and I think Matt will proudly represent that around the world.  Below is the invite to the show - See you there!

Stolen Girlfriends Club Summer Lookbook

New Zealand label, Stolen Girlfriends Club is looking very youthful in their new Summer 2010 lookbook. 
The sheer organzas, ripped denims and asymmetrical cuts in their cute dresses and cropped tops are wicked.
Quite a change from their heavier knitted winter line! I want the very first dress and white/powder silk tank dress.
A couple more items on my summer wish list. hilz x

Ribbons and things....


Just a simple window display for July/August, sorry the photos are a little late.
Above is me and Andrew (Hilary's little bro)-cutest kid in the world!
Hope you are all taking the LOVE MONDAYS approach!

p.s HAPPY BIRTHDAY EJ!! xoxo

Shoulder peek

Glassons top, Country Road jeans, Madam Hawke necklace, bracelet and rings from India.

I had a great time this weekend celebrating a friends 23rd and remembering what it is like to 
stay in town till 4am. I've been scouting fun yet durable clothes at the moment in preparation of 
this years New Zealand Fashion Week.
I am very excited to be shooting every show for FashioNZ again this year. 
Bring on the cramped, boisterous photographer's pit. hilz x

Christina

I've had these photos of Christina Ricci on my computer for a long time now
and thought it's about time I shared them with you.
Amber and I do not disagree about many thing, but we are divided when it comes to this actress.
I think there's something really cool about Miss Ricci, I've always likes her unusual look and
strange choice of movies. Amber doesn't agree hehe. Your thoughts? hilz
